The asymmetry is brutal: generating slop costs pennies and five seconds, while reviewing it costs senior engineers hours. The natural filter of complexity is broken, so the only way out is to artificially reintroduce friction
Projects like Godot need to enforce a strict Proof of Work. Want your PR reviewed? Attach a video of the fix running or a profiler log. If you can't prove you ran the code locally, a bot should auto-close the ticket. Otherwise they're just going to drown
